Play
 
Today, 23-time Grand Slam Champion Serena Williams faces off outside of Cincinnai against 19-year-old Emma Raducanu, the defending U.S. Open champion, at the Western and Southern Open down in Cincinnati.

It could be one of the 40-year-old tennis superstar's last matches of her career, as she announced recently that she is preparing to retire.

Serena Williams and her sister Venus's early success in tennis were portrayed in the biopic, King Richard, which came out last year and starred Will Smith playing their father.

Today, we're going to start the "Sound of Ideas" by talking about Serena Wililams' legacy, and why many argue if she became the greatest of all time. She certainly changed the face of tennis throughout her career.

Later in the hour, we'll learn more about a new breastfeeding clinic at the Cleveland Clinic, and discuss new guidelines that recommend new mothers breastfeed for up to two years or more.
